Jreboll Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 The closest I can think is “diablito” which is “dolly” you can modify it by saying “un diablito para el garrafon de agua “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo lady Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Carro de / parra garrafon. Diablito is the word for the illegal bypass / modification of wiring around a CFE meter (so I've been told.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jreboll Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Are you talking about a “columpio”? A metal stand where the bottle can swing down to dispense water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jreboll Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I’ve heard those called “columpio(swing)” in Spanish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a taller one (easier to "swing") that might also have a lower rack for the second jug. We had one 20 years ago but not since 2009 so can't remember well.

Lou Quillio Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Do most of y'all have the pivoting ones? Because we have the decorative, glazed-ceramic ones with a spigot, where you invert the open garafon on top. Lacking extra counter space, we also have wrought iron stands (though there are wooden ones) like you can get at Arte Mexicano in San Antonio. https://goo.gl/maps/1hyJk2WAHkaaFx4w6 It's that kind of stand that I thought was being inquired about, which I've heard called a portogarafon or sopporte de garafon.

Yeah, you can get both parts at Arte Mexicano. Many are ugly, but there's a huge variety, especially inside (some are outdoors in front). Maybe stop there and ask, "Cuál es el nombre de esta olla, y el soporte, en español?" The mom is more helpful; the daughter is hit-and-miss.
